My students attend a school district that is under funded. They lack the essential, classroom supplies that every student should have made available to them: pencils, pencil sharpeners, tissues and water. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. The chart paper will be used to create anchor charts that reflect the discussions we have during our mini-lessons. The world globes will allow students to visualize the areas of the world that we are learning. The cell phone storage area will allow students to have a safe place to store their cell phones and prevent them from becoming distracted throughout the lesson. The mobile laptop desk will allow students to present their projects to their peers in front of the class while the headsets will allow students to work independently without distracting their other classmates. Finally, the ball chairs will be used as an incentive for students that are self-directed and are achieving their individualized goals.
